Ubwino ndi mzimu umene umatuluka m'mawu athu, ndipo cholinga chake n'chakuti ulowe m'mitima ya anthu. Popanda ubwino, uphungu wathu kaŵirikaŵiri ungamve ngati kuweruza ndi kuneneza.

Pamene tilingalira za enawo, kuyenera kukhala m'kuyamikira, ubwino, ndi chimwemwe, ndipo tiyenera kuwapempherera. Ngati tichita zimenezi, tingakhulupirire kuti Mulungu adzawathandiza ndi kuwadalitsa. (Aroma 4:17-21.)
Pakhale chisoni chaumulungu m'mitima yathu ndi kulakalaka kupeza zipatso zambiri za Mzimu monga kukoma mtima, ubwino, chikondi. Anthu ayenera kuona chifundo ndi ubwino wa Mulungu mwa ife. Mulungu ndi wangwiro mu ubwino, ndipo ana Ake ayenera kukhala ngati Iye. Khalidwe la Atate liyenera kuonekera kwambiri mwa atumiki Ake.
Tikuitanidwa kukhala fungo lokoma la Khristu kwa Mulungu. (2 Akorinto 2:15.) Izi ziyenera kuchitika choyamba kunyumba kwathu komanso m'tchalitchi chathu. Fungo lokoma la ubwino liyenera kuchokera ku miyoyo yathu. Zotsatira za ubwino ndikuti ena amapezanso chikhumbo chofuna kupeza zipatso zambiri za Mzimu.

Malinga ngati tikukhala m'dzikoli, dziko liyenera kuona chiyembekezo. Mwa ife, anthu ayenera kukumana ndi chifundo ndi chisomo cha Mulungu.
Uthenga wabwino umatilonjeza kuti tikhoza kukhala ndi moyo m'njira yonse yotheka. (Yohane 10:10.) Tikhoza kukhala ndi moyo wogonjetsa kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu. (Aroma 5:17.) Chotero, tiyeni tipeze kuleza mtima Kwake kotero kuti m'mikhalidwe ya moyo, tikhale ndi mphamvu ya kupirira zinthu zonse.
Tiyenera kuchotsa kuuma konse komwe kuli mwa ife.

Malangizo 4: Khalani ofulumira kumva, ochedwa kulankhula
Tikamachita zinthu ndi anthu ena, tikhoza kukumana ndi anthu amene ataya mtima kwambiri chifukwa cha mmene zinthu zilili pa moyo wawo. Nkofunika kwambiri kuti iwo akumane ndi ubwino kuchokera kwa ife ndi kuti tiwamvetsere, kupeza nthaŵi ndi iwo, ndi kuwakomera mtima. Apo ayi, tingachitepo kanthu mosavuta pa mawu awo, osati zimene akufunikira kwenikweni.

Ndiyenera kukhala pafupi ndi mwamuna mnzanga ngati ndikufuna kukhala wabwino ndi wofunda kwa iye.
Pali kufunika kwakukulu kwa anthu kumva mawu odzala ndi chikhulupiriro. Pali chiweruzo, edification, chilimbikitso, chitsogozo ndi chitonthozo m'mawu awa. Ubwino wa Mulungu ulibe chochita ndi chisamaliro cha anthu, cha moyo, chosazama. Ubwino wa Mulungu umatipangitsa kukhala olimba ndi osagwedezeka. Pamene tifuna mowona mtima kutumikira Mulungu ndi kuthandiza anthu, tidzawona kupusa kwathu, ndipo chikhumbo champhamvu cha kupeza ubwino wambiri wa Mulungu chidzabadwa mkati mwathu.
